Description

Join us for a workshop on communication skills.

The ability to clearly communicate ideas, give constructive feedback and navigate conflicting opinions are all integral to making a project run smoothly and maintaining good relationships with everyone involved. The goal of this workshop is to develop an understanding of what makes for effective communication and how to implement this in a professional context for interpersonal communication, team collaboration and conflict resolution.

The workshop will introduce the physiological and psychological foundations of successful communication skills and how these play into our everyday interactions. Principles of mindfulness will be discussed as a method for cultivating awareness of individual communication patterns and engaging in clear, non-confrontational dialogue.

The format will be brief presentations followed by a discussion period open to the floor. Presenters are:
